wherein a radially outer edge of the rolling wheel is arranged closer to an axis of rotation than a radially outer edge of the cutting wheel.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the support roller arrangement is arranged on a rotation base, wherein the work wheel arrangement is arranged at a work wheel guide, and wherein the rotation base and the work wheel guide are connected to one another via at least one linear guide, wherein the linear guide is configured to allow displacement of the work wheel arrangement relative to the rotation base and the support roller arrangement along the guide direction.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein a position of the linear guide is adjustable.

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the work wheel guide has an eccentric weight distribution in relation to the axis of rotation, wherein a centrifugal force causing the pressure force acts on the work wheel guide, when the rotation base, with the work wheel guide arranged thereon via the at least one linear guide, rotates around the axis of rotation.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the work wheel arrangement has at least two rolling wheels which may have a different edge geometry.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least an element of the work wheel arrangement is designed as a wobble wheel.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the rolling wheel has a larger radius than the cutting wheel.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the rolling wheel is heatable.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein an electrical voltage is applied to at least one of the rolling wheel, the cutting wheel, and an electrode of the work wheel arrangement to induce spark erosion.

10. A method for stripping a cable comprising:

clamping an end of the cable to be stripped with an application of a pressure force between a work wheel arrangement and a support roller arrangement, wherein the work wheel arrangement comprises a rolling wheel and a cutting wheel, and wherein the pressure force is created by displacement of the work wheel arrangement relative to the support roller arrangement in a guide direction running transversely to and through an axis of rotation;

driving a unit made up of the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement to rotate and unroll around the cable;

wherein the rolling wheel and the cutting wheel roll off along a cutting region on the circumference of the cable;

wherein the rolling wheel has a blunter edge geometry than the cutting wheel; and

wherein the radially outer edge of the rolling wheel is arranged closer to an axis of rotation than the radially outer edge of the cutting wheel.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the support roller arrangement is arranged on a rotation base, wherein the work wheel arrangement is arranged on a work wheel guide, and wherein the rotation base and the work wheel guide are connected to one another via at least one linear guide, wherein the linear guide is configured to allow displacement of the work wheel arrangement relative to the rotation base and the support roller arrangement along a guide direction running transversely to the axis of rotation.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the work wheel guide has an eccentric weight distribution in relation to the axis of rotation, wherein a centrifugal force causing the pressure force acts on the work wheel guide, when the rotation base, with the work wheel guide arranged thereon via the at least one linear guide, rotates around the axis of rotation.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the rotation base is driven at a maximum speed between 3000 rpm and 5000 rpm.
